Generic

This guide demonstrates how to use the GenericRESTAPI client to interact with any generic REST API endpoint.

Connect to a generic API

from wingpy import GenericRESTAPI

generic = GenericRESTAPI(
    base_url="https://httpbin.org",
)
generic.headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer my_token"}

GET /bearer

response = generic.get("/bearer")
print(response.json())

POST /post

data = {"key": "value"}
response = generic.post("/post", data=data)
print(response.json())

PUT /put

data = {"key": "new_value"}
response = generic.put("/put", data=data)
print(response.json())

DELETE /delete

response = generic.delete("/delete")
print(response.status_code)

Handle generic errors

try:
    response = generic.get("/status/404")
    response.raise_for_status()
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Request failed: {e}")
